(thinking of my most recent + longest lasting fandom ‘experience’ as in franchises for which ive felt the need to dig deeper into the fandom stuff) my feelings about bnha are rly strange in that, if you ask me if i LOVE the story? I dont know how id feel, i think it’s a good story, but there are definitely things that are bit jarring to me, and a weird aftertaste in the way it delivers its themes (msg: reach out and help! result: none of the league of villains were saved. aftertaste: save those who are like you, nd want to conform with just a little nudge. if not, theyre ‘beyond saving’) but yeah i do get simple-minded rush of emotions during certain moments. the character relationships are for the most part interesting. I enjoy it but it’s like Detco, do i think Detco is a GREAT story? I CANT SAY MAN ITS 1000+ CHAPTERS AND THE PLOT PROGRESSION PACE IS COMPLETELY WILD EVEN NOW WE HAVE NO IDEA WHERE ITS GOING and it almost doesnt have consistent themes (aside from the moonlight sonata msg) or character development to speak of. shinichi can also be annoying to me personally at times so. both are franchises i enjoy up to tremendous points mostly for the characters and then

and then well there is LHL which just fucked me up over on both character and thematic story telling fronts hng

#hxh also fucked me up #hxh if you watch the 2011 version #ironically it tells a complete story #and it fucks you up #on both front #tma did not fuck me up #i enjoyed it a lot but got over it very fast too #to the point i almost cant recall my feelings while listening #but i remember being into it very much until s4 and then feeling very meh during s5 #sometimes its like that #tsme for me is mainly free real estate that s the charm of it #its my playground #nd ofc since its pokeani its always character led mostly #same for best wishes #yeah the two that gave me emotion overload #were rly LHL and hxh #tnb was SO GOOD but it’s still more character led than story led #it just has its own flair in the story telling #and it does deliver a message but i cant call it seamless #in the way it delivers it #maybe it also has to do with me being relatively purpose oriented so i tend to go insane for a story that starts with a direction and then #reaches it dexterously?#the ‘going full circle’ feeling in both lhl and hxh (if u stop at the end of the 2011 adaptation) was quite incredible
